Medical Education Research Centre (MEdRC) a Hyderabad based elearning company has launched a service for medical students. They have digitized the learning content for the students which allow students to repeatedly listen to the lectures at thir own time and pace. This article states that this service is being provided keeping the slow learners in mind. I unlike them feel that it’s a great boon to anyone, from the geeks who want to study more to slow learners to even back benchers like me who never pay attention. Even teachers can use it for reference while teaching. Over 7,500 multimedia enhanced digital lectures subscribing to the curriculum prescribed by the Medical Council of India (MCI) for MBBS have been digitized.
This particular e-learning service has been primarily launched for undergraduate students.
The study material would include-
text, tables, flow charts, colour stills, 2D and 3D animation, audio, video of clinical methods, case discussions and video lectures by over 700 expert faculty from across the country.
With the web evolving, I am sure that we educational institutions can leverage the opportunity and create Never Seen Before services. Everonn Systems India was earlier providing simulating classrooms and reaching the real-time multi-way audio and visual presence of the professor to locations in towns and villages through a programme called `Zebra Kross’.
